Make-Over Candidates
* Many of the people you do Money Make-Overs for are “frugal” (twice), walk to work, hang laundry on a line, have only one car, are (your words) “penny pinching” and have (your words again) a “modest living standard.”
These are people who stopped eating out to meet the expense of two children. Give me a break!
By your own numbers they are managing to spend about $78,000 a year. Sheesh!
Who’s the next Money Make-Over on, Bill Gates? After all, Melinda Gates stays home too, right?
